(guild library) (maybe) (use discourse now) (ai later)
You’ve opened quite a can of worms here.
My initial response is: there is little value in building (yet another) a library.
My more nuanced response is: we do need a curated a “source of truth”, for which libraries, with their rules, classifications and management have traditionally provided. They still do, but not like what you’re proposing for The Guild. At best we can hope to create an ad-hoc pile of interesting references, but without an “activist librarian”, AI or human, who is “all over the Guild” that’s all we can hope for. So don’t even try.
Ultimately, a well trained and aligned AI that “watches everything we do” around here and, with our HI guidance and with provenance built-in, answers the sort of hypothetical questions you pose, relevant to each entrepreneur’s journey, is what we need. That is, similar to the original intelligent mentions idea but focused on collective knowledge that a real library provides and AI (notwithstanding their significant hallucination problems) can surface for each and everyone one of us.
In the interim, use this platform, Discourse, like we outlined in detail earlier:
The more engagement there is around here, the more likely there will be answers to questions asked. The challenge, for now, will be surfacing the “right answers” but it’s an interesting problem to work on. In the meantime, don’t spend hours trying to migrate the entirety of Notion. Make references in the new library to nuggets of wisdom in the old. That’s it.
